  T2897 - Sorbus (Sorbus aucuparia): Sectional dismantling to ground level due to structural concerns associated with low multi-stem unions, included bark and evidence of basal dysfunction. T2895 - Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus): Sectional dismantling to near ground level due to extensive stem decay, significant cavity formation and compromised structural integrity. T2896 - Norway Maple (Acer platanoides): Crown reduction by approximately 1.5?2.0 metres throughout the crown to reduce end-weight and improve crown balance, including removal of minor deadwood. T2892 - Pedunculate Oak (Quercus robur): Moderate crown reduction by approximately 1.5?2.0 metres throughout the outer crown extent to reduce loading associated with suspected internal stem dysfunction whilst retaining natural form. T2891, T2890, T2889, T2887 & T2884 - Sycamores (Acer pseudoplatanus): Crown reduction works between approximately 1.5-2.5 metres to reduce leverage and loading on co-dominant stems and included unions whilst retaining natural crown form and amenity value. T2886 - Pedunculate Oak (Quercus robur): Light crown reduction of extended lateral limbs by approximately 1.5-2.0 metres to improve crown balance and reduce end-weight loading. T2883 - Turkey Oak (Quercus cerris): Light crown reduction by approximately 1.5-2.0 metres to reduce loading on co-dominant stems and associated unions. Existing Cobra bracing system to be retained and monitored. T2882 - Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa): Light crown reduction by approximately 1.5-2.0 metres radial spread together with removal of deadwood and fractured secondary limbs to reduce sail effect and loading on hollow stem sections. T2881 - Ornamental Cherry (Prunus spp.): Removal to ground level due to progressive structural dysfunction, decay and declining vitality. Stump grinding to be undertaken where practicable. T2898 and Group G001: Crown lifting to provide approximately 5.2 metres clearance above the adjacent roadway/highway to maintain v

Pruning wounds shall not exceed x40 mm in diameter. Crown lift secondary & sub lateral branch growth only, to provide a clearance of x5.60 metres between the road level and foliage tips, to achieve the desired vertical clearance & highway regulation height clearance. Remaining wounds shall not exceed 40 mm in diameter. Cut & remove smaller Bay & Laurel stems under x100mm in diameter at the base of the tree.

  Holm Oak 12m Tall 50cm diameter (Already have approved plan for other three trees on site, scope to mirror that) Crown mai fence works requested to cut back to previous pruning points, not as far as original pollard but to the secondary pollard points, this has been noted on tree inspectors recent visit looking at other trees on site. This tree was not included in the original request due to a miscommunication between owner and agent. Plan to reduce radial spread down from 9m to 7m roughly removing 1.5-2m of regrowth.

  T 030 - Multiple stemmed lapsed sycamore coppice. Growing on bank bordering road and in striking distance of third party properties to the north and south. Two primary stems to the north have been pollarded down to 3m. The eastern most stem has since died with large area of bark necrosis at 1.5m - 3m. The northern most stem which has had a primary limb pollarded is in severe decline with bark necrosis to the north at 2m. If the two stems are removed the remaining canopy will be biased totaly to the south and west and will be open to additional wind loading. Recommendations - Pollard to level already established, approximately 3m. Please see report excerpt for photos.
